I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at JCPenney (Kansas City, MO) in Sept 2018
Interview
Very informal. Not tough questions. Just have examples of situations on selling and motivating others. They will see if you are able to give specific examples not general. It is not hard. Tell them the best qualities in the workplace and that you are a team player.
